Was the ceiling clean before this? FWIW we have been burning for 16 years with a similar setup and there is no soot on the ceiling. What stove is this? Has it been hard to get a fire going in it this season?
The ceiling had a little bit off soot on it before, nothing like before tonight. Im not sure what stove it is as it came with the house and I dont see a brand anywhere. It has been very very hard to get a fire going and its been particularly rainy (sometimes have to use a bit of damp wood.)
I don't think that has anything to do with what wood wet or not. I'd want to pull that pipe down and inspect the chimney connector. Should not be getting soot up there.
